Tim Templeton Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Last year, there were various stands and displays close to the Millenium Stadium, on one of the adjoining roads. Are there plans to repeat this this year, and if so, what can we expect to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noodles Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Last year, there were various stands and displays close to the Millenium Stadium, on one of the adjoining roads. Are there plans to repeat this this year, and if so, what can we expect to see? It was called 'Fanzone' and I think it is going ahead again this year.

emerald tyke Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Should be a cracking day all in all. Hope the 'man above' supplies us with a fine sunny day for all thats going on and make it a success for the organisers and fans alike. Was a brill event on the fanzone last year, glad its back. Wonder will the robot be back? Hopefully the new screens and sound system will only "help" Stacey Solomon sound ok too when we get inside ...and a British win again would top it off nicely. Come on Scotty or Chris (don't mind which!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) From speedwaygp.com To build up to Saturday evening's World Championship action, which gets underway at 5pm, the British SGP Fanzone takes over St Mary’s Street from 11am. The highlight of the event is a star-studded autograph signing with world champion Tomasz Gollob, Britain’s Chris Harris, Cardiff wild card Scott Nicholls and last year's British SGP winner Chris Holder at 3.30pm. There will also be vintage speedway bikes on display, plus performances from Titan the Robot and the Magoos, a chance to meet the grid girls and much, much more. Those who can’t wait for 16 of world speedway's daredevils to put everything on the line in search of Cardiff gold will not want to miss the Globe of Death, which will be just outside gate three. The motorcycle stunt team will perform at 2pm, 3pm and 3.30pm. The Millennium Stadium turnstiles open at 3pm and former X Factor finalist Stacey Soloman provides the pre-meeting entertainment at 4.20pm, before the main event gets underway with the rider parade at 5pm and race one at 5.15pm.
